Overall, the room was okay, but honestly, there wasn't anything truly memorable about it. The decor was horror-themed, but there were no jump scares, which we appreciated. What really turned us off was the fact that some of the puzzles and decor had absolutely nothing to do with the room's theme (e.g., the flowers????), plus the final puzzle was clearly made up of reused props from other scenarios. We didn’t appreciate that no effort was made to make us feel like this puzzle was connected to what we were doing in the game and the room’s theme—it was just another challenge among many. Also, I’m 5’1” tall, and I couldn’t see certain essential parts of one of the puzzles. I wasn’t missing much, but let’s just say that with two 5’1” players, we wouldn’t have been able to finish the game without someone coming to help us. Finally, the fact that you have to knock on the door or wave at the camera to get a game master to come into the room (without a costume, without playing a character, or anything) to help us with the scenario when we need clues clashes really badly with other escape rooms and completely takes us out of the atmosphere; I honestly don’t understand why they don’t use a phone/walkie-talkie system or something similar to communicate with us. So, in short, we enjoyed the experience, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to other players.
